Unfortunately, there's not simple formula to identifying all of the factors of a number and it can be a tedious process when trying to identify the divisors of larger numbers. To find the factor combinations of the number 957,275, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.
We start by creating a table and writing 1 on the left side and then the number we're trying to find the factors for on the right side in a table. Then, below that, write the numbers as a negative as well.
| 1 | 957,275 | |
| -1 | -957,275 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 957,275.
Example:
1 x 957,275 = 957,275
and
-1 x -957,275 = 957,275
Notice both answers equal 957,275
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 957,275 and divide it by 2:
957,275 ÷ 2 = 478,637.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 478,637.5 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 957,275 | |
| -1 | -957,275 |
Now, we try dividing 957,275 by 3:
957,275 ÷ 3 = 319,091.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 319,091.6667 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 957,275 | |
| -1 | -957,275 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
957,275 ÷ 4 = 239,318.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 239,318.75 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 957,275 | |
| -1 | 957,275 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 11 | 25 | 55 | 59 | 275 | 295 | 649 | 1,475 | 3,245 | 3,481 | 16,225 | 17,405 | 38,291 | 87,025 | 191,455 | 957,275 |
| -1 | -5 | -11 | -25 | -55 | -59 | -275 | -295 | -649 | -1,475 | -3,245 | -3,481 | -16,225 | -17,405 | -38,291 | -87,025 | -191,455 | -957,275 |
